I've been really enjoying 48/17 on my main bike, but I built a beater the other day and (partly due to finding the chainring in the bin) it's 44/18. It's a big difference but the lower gear is really nice, can't really spin very well so my speed has significantly decreased but slowing down and stopping and general control is really nice. I like both for different reasons, but hey who knew it, lower gear ratios are fun.
